The Maize Microscopists (Lindy Allsman, Pablo Martinez, Alison Mills, Leslie Aranda, McKenzie Pickle, Danielle Thomas, Victoria Morris) did a fantastic job showing fifth graders from our local elementary school how to make glue impressions of leaves and then look at them under the microscope. Each a-maize-ing microscopist led a couple of rounds with help from everyone else (great teamwork!). Thanks to Leslie Aranda for our beautiful poster. Thanks to Plant Biology graduate students Lauren Dedow and Sonja Wente for organizing this activity and see you next year.

Beautiful rows!

Planting Selfie!

This is our fanciest field with drip tape installed. Thanks to Pablo, Lindy, Leslie, Joceylne, Ricardo and Raquel for planting! We'll plant the rest next week. Hopefully this will be a weed- and pest-free field. 3/7/2017
